Dear Alumni,

Recognising and Celebrating Our SMU Alumni

Alumni are the cornerstone of any great university, and each one plays an important role in building a vibrant alumni community. Our alumni are our brand ambassadors and are integral in enhancing the stature of SMU locally and in the global arena. Some have made an impact in and through their various endeavours. Come 23rd October 2015, SMU will be acknowledging these special individuals at the annual SMU Alumni Recognition Ceremony. It is also an occasion to reminisce with old friends, catch up with faculty and staff, and where our alumni can take pride in seeing how far their alma mater has progressed. Click here to find out more about this event which recognises the accomplishments and contributions of our alumni. The event is open to alumni and their families.

How time flies! In the blink of an eye, our Class of 2010 and 2005 have left SMU for 5 years and 10 years respectively. It is time to reconnect, relive old memories, and renew ties! Calling all members of the 2005 and 2010 fraternity - catch up with your friends on 10th October in intimate settings at the 10th and 5th year reunions respectively. And bring your families along too!

We hope that you'll enjoy reading SMU CIRCLE. We look forward to seeing you at our forthcoming alumni events organised specially for you!

With warm regards,

Low Aik Meng
Office of Alumni Relations (OAR)

highlights

10th year reunion - class of 2005 5th year reunion - class of 2010 tell us your story

Like their seniors a year earlier, the Class of 2005 is special. They came when SMU was in its infancy, and saw how the university grew and matured. The second cohort will have lots to hear and to tell! To hear about the developments that have made their alma mater a force to be reckoned with locally and globally, and the university of choice for students and employers. To tell their friends about all that have transpired in their lives and careers. So Class of 2005, come reconnect again at your 10th Year Reunion!

Five years have flown since graduation! For the Class of 2010, it must have been an exhilarating time, establishing your careers and relationships, and making your mark in the world! Whilst in school, you had forged strong friendships. Now is the time to renew those ties again. Your friends would be glad to hear about your accomplishments and your happiness and, perhaps collaborate with you on your next venture or adventure? What better occasion to do that than at your 5th Year Reunion?

What's life like after SMU? What's happening on your career front or in your personal life? Are you happy? Share with us your experiences as we collect stories about our alumni. These collection of cases will be used for case-teaching in the SMU MBA and undergraduate programmes. The cases no doubt will provide valuable life lessons for students.
